I just thought I would make this so that people who have been a fan of the show and the comics for more than 6 months could have a place to discuss the two without spoiling it for anyone else. I think it is fair to say to use a spoiler tag for the last two shows, or the last 5 comics to give everyone time to catch up but other than that it is fair game.

So to start does anyone think Merle's hand being cut off is going to substitute for Rick losing his to the Governor? I always thought having a main character who loses his right hand would be a little intense for TV.

This is what they did for Game of Thrones (since the books and show are very different overall, but have obvious overlaps in plot/characters/etc. that talking about the books would ptentially ruin).

Some doofus was in the Walking Dead thread talking about the comic openly and didn't spoiler it. We said "hey doofus, put a spoiler on that you could be ruining the comic for someone." Then doofus and Jess took it as an opportunity to start arguing.

Since ITM and myself are both reading the comic and would prefer to not have people ruin stuff for us, in the absence of spoiler tags (which Doofus and Jess decided don't apply to them) this is the next best thing.

Maybe you should not bitch because you are five years behind on something, and catch up before you read threads instead of acting like everyone should not discuss something in public from Spring 2008. Entitled much?

This makes me question if you even comprehend what the word entitled means.

I was just recapping for Alberto why this thread was necessary.

You arguing against the use of spoilers still is just proving the point, so thank you for that.

Less than the spoilers it was you jumping in to call someone what was it?... Oh yeah a Sh*itbird because they talked about something five years old without designating it a spoiler. That being said yes if people who are five years behind on something are going to bitch about stuff like that then a separate thread is indeed needed.

You didn't seem to take issue with SFA or ITM calling him on it.

Stop being a punk, Jess, it's so pathetic. You're a grown man, pretend to know how to act like one.

Maybe because they were able to get their point across without using profanity, and acting like a half grown manchild that did not have a mother to teach them manners. Also I am the least punkish person you will ever meet, maybe we will have a chance to discuss it someday. Finally I am about to start posting spoilers in here so I suggest you stop butting in until you catch up

Super ironic that acting uppity about people catching on to something later than them is about as hipster as it gets.

Oddly enough though no one bitches at people for bringing up obscure facts about indie pop until they are able to discover it for themselves. I demand all Tame Impala discussion be put in spoilers until I can listen to the catalog!!!!!

F*ck. Sh*t. B*tch. C*ck. B*lls.

Will Ferrell did it, so it must be funny.

This is the internet, peaches, not church. Cursing happens, might have to cover your virgin ears from time to time to get around it. Do you go to those hip-hop clubs with ear plugs in? I hear they use a lot of the swear words in their lyrics.

And Jess, bringing my mother into things? From a guy who had a literal meltdown when you misunderstood nod's comment about drinking as a slight at your parenting, that seems like the most petty, hypocritical comment you can make. I'm not mad, you're showing your true, childish colors.

Protip as someone who does spend a lot of time messing with people on the internet: when you're defending how you are not a punk, be sure to not defend this point a sentence after talking about another grown man's mother on the internet.

John Dies at the End, and This Book is Full of Spiders, both by David Wong. We watched the movie this weekend at the infoguys retreat, and I finally went to the used bookstore and picked them up. You should check them out, good stuff.

Toodles!

Given the slop that comes out of your mouth Flanzie, I am not worried much about offending your delicate sensibilities. Also I cuss like a sailor but I rarely use it to refer to other people because like I implied earlier I was raised better than that........

You wouldn't be annoyed if I copy and pasted the plot synopses here then right? That book is already like six months old.

7 years and go for it, if I post about old media it does not bother me if others post about it some. Notice in my first post I asked for a decent time frame for spoilers but not you know since Spring 2008........

So I really can not believe the difference in the comics vs the show with Morgan. He did not come back until the governor got killed running everyone out of the prison, and then he was a major character. Maybe he will still come back in that capacity as Michonnes main squeeze after they leave the prison. Also does anyone think that Glenn and Tyrees's roles are going to be reversed? I bet Glenn goes back to Woodbury then gets beheaded in front of the prison instead of Tyreese.

Also even though I know they will skip it, the whole hallucination comic book where they were all being abducted by aliens to fight monsters would be a great addition next year. Especially if they did it while Rick was in the fever dream from the injuries.

Jess, I know you're just trying to incite some meatheaded "I'm going to knock you out" type of response. Not going to happen. You can keep deliberately ignoring my request to not refer to me by that name. You can act like you're above me morally, you can act like your mother was better than mine, act however you want. It doesn't bother me. You're a sad, lonely man trying to get his jollies by internet trolling when you lack the mental capacity to do it consistently well and the people here are too exposed to your tired antics to be fooled by them. Congrats, I hope it is an incredibly fulfilling exercise and you walk away feeling rewarded and worthwhile.

So you were raised poorly enough to curse like a sailor, but just good enough that you don't type it on the internet. You mother must have been quite a woman to pinpoint that specific point in the parenting spectrum to achieve such a specific middle ground.
